MILK-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 663,733, dated December 11, 1900.

i Application led June 2, 1899. Serial No. 719,099. dio model.)

To a/ZZ whom, zltmay concern.-

Be it known that l, CHARLES EUGENE CRANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of \Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a combined milk and cream receptacle constructed as fully set forth hereinafter and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a sectional elevation of a receptacle embodying my improvement; Fig. 2, an

edge View of the upper detachable disk; Fig. 3, a section of the lower disk, having an edge flange.

The body A of the receptacle is made of any suitable material and in any desired form and proportions. Preferably it is of glass, tapering toward the upper end, which is eX- tended to form an elongated neck o, the latter preferably tapering slightly from the upper end or mouth to the point Where it meets the body portion. Vithin the neck a and near the lower end of the same is an annular shoulder :13, and in some cases there is an additional shoulder y near the upper part of the neck and within the same. To th'e shoulder or seat 0c is adapted a disk B, ot' any suitable fieXible material, which when forced into place will form a seal or joint with the inside of the neck, and this disk is provided With a flange o of any desired depth.

The disk B may loe of paper suitably stiened and waterproofed, or it may be of celluloid, prepared gelatin, or any other suitable material and suticientlyiexible to form a tight joint With the interior of the neck when forced into its place on the seat and capable of resisting the action of any liquid which is placed in the neck above the disk.

The body A of the receptacle is supplied With milk, as usual. The disk B is then insorted in the neck and forced onto its seat and then cream is poured into the neck above" the disk, Where it remains separated from the milk in the body of the receptacle.

After the cream is poured from the receptacle formed by the neck and the disk B the latter may be removed by means of a corkscrew or any liarpoon-like instrument, after which the milk may be also removed.

In order to protect the cream When the receptacle has to stand for any length of time after being lled, a second disk C may be inserted in the mouth until it rests on the shoulder or seat y.

Without limiting myself to a receptacle of any special material or form or proportions or to the use of a disk of any special mate- 6o rial, I claim as my invention- A combined cream and milk receptacle, comprising the body portion A, for containing milk, an extended neck portion d, for containing cream, the latter tapering from its 65 upper end downwardly to its junction with the body portion and provided with an interior annular shouldera; near said junction,

a flexible flanged disk B to seat on said shoulder and form a liquid-tight partition between 7o the body and neck, and a removable diskclosure for the upper end of the neck, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 75 ,two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES EUGENE CRANE.
